After many years of painstaking work by our talented programmer Denis Rakaric our Swan class virtual 3D build is available for purchase. Each step of the construction of the model is rendered in hi-resolution pictures following the Fully Framed Ship Model series chapter by chapter. You will have a hard time discerning between Denis's renders and my model! In addition to every chapter of the four volume book you will also find virtual tours of the fully framed ship as well as the completed rigged vessel. Finally, included is a video of the computer frame making process.
The four volume Fully Framed Ship Model series by David Antscherl and Greg Herbert is already the most complete treatise of the construction of a mid-sevententh century British naval vessel. This compilation of renderings and videos takes it to the next level. Whether you are building a Swan class shop model, another of a similar period or are just a fan of naval architecture then you will want this product.
